She was very satisfied with this scene in Chapter 8. [8]
The sound of the vase shattering startled Ah Chu, who was leaning against the pool wall.
She opened her eyes abruptly, like a startled fawn.
"who?!"
Wen Zhiyu heard the tremor in her voice.
He sighed softly, turned on the room light, opened the French windows, and went outside.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
A clear and steady voice does indeed give people a sense of security.
But when Achu saw Wen Zhiyu, her eyes widened in surprise.
"You... what are you doing here?"
After asking the question, Ah Chu seemed to realize what was happening and hugged herself with her arms.
But in Wen Zhiyu's view, her actions were more like a half-concealed veil.
"I just happened to be here for an inspection today, and since it's getting late, I'll stay here overnight."
Achu lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.
Wen Zhiyu paused for a moment before speaking, "Do you... want to get up first?"
Achu nodded.
Wen Zhiyu turned around very gentlemanly, as if he wasn't the one who had been peeping into the room.
Achu looked up at him, and then carefully got up.
Although Wen Zhiyu didn't see it, he could tell from the sound of water that A Chu had gotten up.
Then I heard a soft rubbing sound; it must be that Ah Chu has put on her bathrobe.
A weak voice came from behind: "It's done."
Wen Zhiyu turned around and saw A Chu clutching her bathrobe with both hands, looking somewhat uneasy.
"Um, I didn't know anyone lived here. The water over there is too hot..."
Wen Zhiyu hummed in agreement, his voice still gentle: "It's still my fault, I scared you, I'm sorry."
Achu quickly shook her head: "No, it's none of your business."
"I'll go ahead first."
As he spoke, Achu was about to step towards the other courtyard.
Just then, a loud "bang" was heard.
Achu was startled and slipped on the stone slab that she had just splashed and wet.
She gasped and fell backward.
Before he could fall to the ground, his waist was already firmly held.
The sky suddenly brightened, illuminating Achu's startled face.
"Are you alright?" Wen Zhiyu asked with concern.
Just as Achu was about to speak, several more explosions rang out. She looked up and saw that someone was setting off fireworks.
"I...I'm fine..."
Achu quickly steadied herself and tried to get out of Wen Zhiyu's arms.
But she found that Wen Zhiyu was holding her rather tightly.
Achu leaned against his chest, looking up at him somewhat helplessly.
"Thank you, brother. I've got my footing now."
Wen Zhiyu looked down at A Chu, whose face was flushed from soaking in the hot spring, and whose eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.
My gaze drifted down to her red, moist lips, which she had been pursing repeatedly.
Further down, water droplets slid down Achu's neck and into her bathrobe.
He's so tall that you can easily see inside his collar.
Wen Zhiyu's eyes were deep and dark, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
But he still let go of Achu and took a step back to create distance between them.
"The ground is slippery, slow down."
Achu nodded hastily and turned to leave as if fleeing.
Wen Zhiyu watched A Chu's back until she was completely hidden by the green plants.
He looked down at his hands, his palms still seeming to retain the warmth of his touch on her waist.
His slender fingers gradually tightened into a fist, and a thought popped into his mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
No one noticed.
After hurriedly returning to his villa, Achu slowed down.
She glanced back over there and let out a soft sigh of relief.
The corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly.
She was very satisfied with this performance.
Achu went back to her room, took a shower, dried her hair, and went to sleep.
On Weibo, a post by Cheng Susu just made it to the top of the trending searches again.
Cheng Susu: [Thank you for the fireworks, I love them!]
The nine-grid photo she posted was full of pictures of fireworks, but when someone increased the exposure, they discovered that Cheng Susu and Wen Zeyu were embracing each other under the blooming fireworks.
One of the photos shows two people kissing.
This Weibo post thus definitively confirmed Cheng Susu and Wen Zeyu's relationship.
After a good night's sleep, Ah Chu woke up and checked the time on her phone, just in time to see a message from Wen Zeyu.
One of the messages was sent last night: "I'm going to be out all night with them tonight, you go to sleep first."
Ah Chu smiled, probably because she was "playing" with Cheng Susu all night.
The next message, sent by Wen Zeyu ten minutes earlier, read: "[Going horseback riding at the racecourse later, you should come too.]"
Ah Chu glanced at the time; it was nine in the morning.
She got up to wash up, and breakfast was delivered to her villa by a special person.
While eating breakfast, Achu also browsed her phone for a while.
She also knew that Cheng Susu and Wen Zeyu's relationship was trending again, but she didn't see it herself; it was a screenshot of a Weibo post sent to her by her sister, Ning Jiao.
Ning Jiao was already angry with A Chu for not inviting her to Linquan Manor, thus missing the opportunity to make friends with those people.
She sent this screenshot to Achu specifically to mock him.
Ning Jiao: [Sister, you're really useless! I bet it won't be long before you lose your position as the second young mistress of the Wen family~]
Achu smiled slightly and typed a reply: 【What a pity. Even if I, as the elder sister, can no longer be the second young mistress of the Wen family, this position won't be given to me, younger sister.】
Ning Jiao was furious and immediately made a voice call to A Chu.
Ah Chu hung up for her.
After breakfast, Achu went to change her clothes.
Since we're going to the horse farm, we should wear riding gear.
Achu had originally planned to go horseback riding before she came, so she brought riding gear.
Navy blue riding trousers paired with brown leather boots perfectly accentuate a pair of straight and slender long legs.
She wore a white shirt with a matching brown vest, and her waist was slender but not frail.
Her long hair was braided into a fishtail braid, and she wore a cowboy hat.
Ah Chu looked at herself in the full-length mirror, feeling dashing and confident, and nodded in satisfaction.
After taking off his hat and hanging it on his back, Achu went out.
She boarded the sightseeing vehicle that came to pick her up and headed to the horse farm.
Wen Zhiyu should have left the villa next door.
But he heard that Wen Zeyu and his friends were riding horses at the horse farm.
I guessed that Achu should be there too.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Zhiyu asked the driver to take him to the horse farm first.
From afar, he saw a group of young and energetic men and women running at varying speeds on the horse track.
One of the beautiful figures easily caught Wen Zhiyu's eye.
Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, he was certain it was A-Chu.
Someone brought a telescope, and this time Wen Zhiyu could see clearly that it was indeed A Chu.
Achu rode a white horse, which was specially raised for the Wen family at Linquan Manor. It was of excellent quality and health.
Her posture was perfect, but she was riding quite fast.
Her hair was lifted by the wind, and Wen Zhiyu saw her exquisite and perfect profile and her upturned lips.
Ah Chu on horseback gives people a very different feeling.
She was unrestrained and flamboyant, seemingly radiating a dazzling light that made it impossible to look away.
Wen Zhiyu noticed that everyone else in the horse farm was also unconsciously looking at A Chu, including Wen Zeyu.
Even though Cheng Susu was still standing next to him, Wen Zeyu's gaze towards A Chu grew brighter and brighter.
Anyone who pays a little more attention to Ah Chu would probably fall in love with her sooner or later.
If Wen Zeyu falls in love with A Chu, wouldn't she have gotten what she wanted?
